Welcome to our forum.
Hi Drewski - thanks for your input. On my end, the water coming out of the tap has a greenish-hue. Obviously, something like you say, is suspended, be it algae or whatever in the water. We have had insane amounts of rainfall here this spring/summer. Our city water comes from a single 'lake' location. Do you think it is possible that this has disrupted the normal ecosystem from excessive run-off etc to make a difference at our end?Jc
The metal removing products do not actually remove the metal. Â Metals like iron and copper that are in the water are saturated in the water. Â Because of this, a regular filter cannot get it out. Â When ozone, or chlorine, or MPS get added to the water (or water supply) then that will oxidize the metals out of solution. Â At this point, the metals can start to be filtered out of the water. You can get a clarifying product like Super Blue to coagulate the minerals together and bring them to the surface. Â When that happens, you can scoop the foam and metals out of the water. Â The other option is to get an inline filter (like a water softener but for iron, copper, and manganese) that attaches to your garden hose. Â The only issue with these filters is that the water comes out so slowly, it takes up to 12 hours to fill the spa.
First things first. Â Call your water utility and ask them why your water is green. Â Once you know what you are dealing with it will be easier to come up with a treatment to get rid of it. Â Don't take any shuck and jive from them either, green is green and you are looking at the water that they are selling to you. Â Do you drink this stuff too? Â Sheesh. Regards,Bill
Do you drink this stuff too?
